Belli Osteria

This might be my favorite meal I've had on my New York visit! Went out for dinner with friends and wanted to try this local place. The decor was beautiful with wine bottles lining the walls and dim lighting from the modern chandelier fixtures. The waitstaff were very attentive and helpful with navigating our party's dietary restrictions. They gave us complimentary bread rolls to start out with, which came with olive oil and balsamic vinegar as well as a side of marinara sauce.I got the Pappardelle Al Ragu, and this might have been the best meal I had on my visit. The portions are large, and the pasta is so clearly freshly made with its good chew and texture. The noodles were perfectly cooked. The honey-braised rib meat was so tender that it melted in my mouth. I will be thinking about this dish for a very long time. I got to try my friends' Calabrese and Spaghetti Al Granchio pastas, and both were just as marvelous with complex yet addictive flavor profiles.There were only a couple of other tables filled when we got there, but the restaurant should be filled with patrons based on the food here and the friendly staff. Give this local place a try -- it will be well-worth your time!

I love Italian so couldn't wait to give this restaurant a try. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. We walked in and were greeted. The place was small but cute. We were sat and served by Nelson, Francisco, and Isabelle and they were great! We started with drinks of the Vesper Martini and a cocktai called Don't Make Me Blush and they both were good! For food we had the:Fontana FlatbreadGranchio (black spaghetti with crab meat)Gnocchi Caccio E PeppeTorino (warm chocolate cake)The food was really good! I really enjoyed the Granchio! All in all this restaurant was super good!

Met a friend for brunch and the place was empty! Which I didn't mind, the waiter Alejandro was very nice and explained the menu to us. They have bottomless brunch which includes mimosas, bloody mary's and coffee. The calamari was excellent and crisped to perfection. The smoked salmon on muffin was OK, should've gone with the bolognese but didn't want to get too sleepy after eating.

Came here with my girlfriend with a reservation on a Saturday eve. Definitely did not need one as it was a ghost town. Don't let that fool you. The food was phenomenal. We ordered calamari and the mushroom pasta with added shrimp. Both were spectacular. Came with a basket of fresh bread. Service a bit on the slow side, but pleasant. I would come here again.

Belli is a nice and reasonably priced Italian option in Clinton Hill. I came here with a few friends and ordered the pappardelle al ragu, which was great. You could really tell that the pasta had been made fresh. Considering this a 4-hour braised short rib ragu with homemade noodles, I thought $20 was a great price too. They also offer a $36 bottomless brunch which looks like a good deal!

I come to Belli all the time (both to sit down and pick up). Stopped by on a Tuesday evening-- made a reservation but it wasn't a huge crowd. My two favorite pasta dishes are the squid ink pasta and the fettuccine Alfredo. Also got the calamari, which I didn't get to snap a photo of (that should tell you how delicious it is). Drinks are always tasty and refreshing!

Standard pasta spot downtown Brooklyn, got the Arancini, the Ragu Paparadelle, and the funghi pasta. Everything was good and the service was excellent.

If you want a low key happy hour with good food come check out Belli Osteria.This cute Italian restaurant makes fresh pasta but their must haves are their burgers. Also you have to try their truffle fries. I had their black spaghetti with crab meat and they aren't skimpy with the crabmeat. I like to come here for a low key happy hour and the vibes are very chill. They provide $10 drinks, $6 beer and wine and $7 bites. They also make great cocktails as well. Next door their is a pop up empanada spot if you want something quick and simple. They have indoor and outdoor dining. The service is always good here and they are very attentive (Sergio). This is a perfect place to catch up with friends or to have an intimate date. Tell them Eatingwithetienne sent ya!

Belli is the neighborhood Italian joint I've been looking for! It's a cozy/comfortable/casual vibe. We had delicious pasta, wine, and appetizers. The prices are great for the area and we really enjoyed the service. Our food and drinks came out quickly and our server was helpful and friendly. Generous portions as well. This will become a staple for sure!
